Same thing with this brand of frozen pizzas we like. We used to have cut off part of the crust to fit it into my toaster oven, but now it fits just fine.

And, notice with all the advertising people do, they never mention price increases or smaller product.

Not only are you getting less, you're also paying more!

I always worry when they start advertising "NEW AND IMPROVED". It usually means smaller and more expensive.

It's done here too, as a sneaky way to raise prices. You pay the same, but get less product.

How many people can notice that the product is smaller. If they don't read the small print they never know.

I hate to admit it, but it took me a while to catch on to the lying and cheating that manufacturers are using to make it look like they aren't raising prices on their products. I now always check the price per ounce so I know what I'm actually spending. What makes me most angry... they KNOW what they are doing and don't have a conscience about it. Hugs, Grammy

And they are very quiet about it, hoping no one will notice.

Same the world over it seems. Paying more but getting less.

Yeah, we consumers don't stand a chance do we?
